    Help flushing air out

    I ended up having the system bled and a faulty air valve changed out. I remember that air valve leaking a couple months back and that's along the time the sounds began. I remember just screwing on the little cap and didn't realize that air had probably entered into the system at that point...

    Is this normal settling?

    Hey fellas, just wanted to give an update. I decided to file a claim with my insurance company based on some of the responses I received, not only on this forum but on another as well. Hoping for a good outcome
